Rainbow-RL-Agent

Ultimate version of Reinforcement Learning Rainbow Agent with Tensorflow 2 from paper "Rainbow: Combining Improvements in Deep Reinforcement Learning". My version can handle Recurrent Neural Nets and Multi Parallelized Environments.

The Rainbow Agent is a DQN agent with strong improvments :

• DoubleQ-learning : Adding a Target Network that is used in the loss function and upgrade once every tau steps. See paper Deep Reinforcement Learning with Double Q-learning
• Distributional RL : Approximating the probability distributions of the Q-values instead of the Q-values themself. See paper : A Distributional Perspective on Reinforcement Learning
• Prioritizedreplay : Sampling method that prioritize experiences with big Temporal Difference(TD) errors (~loss) at the beginning of a training. See paper : Prioritized Experience Replay
• Dueling Networks: Divide neural net stream into two branches, an action stream and a value stream. Both of them combined formed the Q-action values. See paper : Dueling Network Architectures for Deep Reinforcement Learning
• Multi-step learning : Making Temporal Difference bigger than classic DQN (where TD = 1). See paper Multi-step Reinforcement Learning: A Unifying Algorithm
• NoisyNets : Replace classic epsilon-greedy exploration/exploitation with noise in the Neural Net. Noisy Networks for Exploration
